Peace Profit
Made in a country near you
Things to do a job
What type of job?
To heal to kill to create to destroy
All in the ACME factory
Ready steady go get to work!
Fulfil your shift
Do your quota
Finish the order yesterday
There's much work to be done
You busy little bees
Make the fat boss rich
Capitalist wage slaves
Even the commies are the same
Make some more do the work
Enrich the rich you wanker
There's no profit in laziness or peace
We are all environmental commodities

He says caw, caw, caw—yes he crows
With roll, pitch, and yaw Branson goes
My space ride’s high price
Makes me feel oh so nice
Though it takes the earth's health to new lows!
Author's comment: Apologies to Peter Pan who crowed about feeling good (I've gotta crow). Using earth's resources for a joy ride for the rich seems odd considering the state of our planet, but the mainstream media did not cover the ridiculousness of the endeavor. It's likely quite harmful to the environment and moves effort and focus away from critical challenges. Looking at Richard Branson's body language carefully, I can't help but feel sorry for him. He doesn't strike me as being happy, but a joy ride might help as a short distraction. BTW, I wouldn't go on his plane ride, even if he paid me.

I AM A PIG
A HAPPY PIG
CAPITALIST PIG
WITH A PINK CAPE
I OWN THINGS
I BUY THINGS
PIG THINGS
AND WINGS
IT HAS BEEN SAID
I AM A SEXY PIG
SO VERY CLEAN
SEXY AND PIGGY LIKE LEAN
A SEX MACHINE
WE HAVE YOU SEE
PLEASURES LASTING FIFTY MINUTES
MY GOD EVEN MORE
OF EROTIC GREY
I BUILD
CREATE
I EVEN VALUE THOSE PESKY HUMANS
PAY A DECENT WAGE
EVEN ONE DAY FEMINISTS WILL EAT ME
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
ABU ALWAYS SAID
SO NOW MY STORY IS ALMOST DONE
EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL DREAM
MY LOVE STORY

The tongue is monopoly,
The dictatorship,
Ears two equal,
The socialists,
The fingers size to size,
The capitalists!

A world ruled only by capitalist’s ideology,
The proletariat continues to adhere to their beliefs and philosophy
A society with one world order,
An the existence of a social class border,
Oppression and depression that’s what the poor cry
One ruler with one suggestion,
An entire nation with a level of high economic suppression.
